Tool to compare codes or folders

Often we have two documents that we want to compare. It usually happens when we apply theme changes in Wordpress, where each php file represents a part of the template and then we don't know what we did. The same when touching Cpanel we delete a file, or some folder did not finish uploading via ftp.

Another time, is when we have worked a file in Word, and after it passed through different hands we need to find the last one or how it differs from the original.

For this there are various tools, free and paid. Given the need to make a comparison of the code of the header Of Geofumadas, where a broken line was generating an endless query, I have been very useful Code Compare, a relatively simple tool to use.

After trying to download it from Softsonic, which every day becomes less functional with so many ads, buttons to contract the paid download service, installers for each download and finish installing RealPlayer without having asked for it ...

I decided to download it directly from the site. Is called Code Compare.  At first the menu seems unintuitive, but with a couple of minutes it is understood the logic and simplicity.

On the one hand, make directory comparisons. It is enough to select the routes, which can be on the hard disk or in another web site, the program returns us a report of the different folders and files, marking the differences in colors. 

Great, the best your integration with the Windows explorer.

Also, it also allows you to compare two text files, showing differences and options for copying from one panel to another in order to unify.

Great. Ideal for comparing a code that we have tampered with and detecting finger errors. For more demanding users, it has many more options as it supports command line arguments.

Download Code Compare. It's free.
